Seat lock Rt

[1VENOM]

I have the same problem. Removed the side panels and pressed on the cable release, the latch moved smoothly and had no resistance. However the key when pressed down and turned {clockwise} it will not move. I am thinking that the cable may be frozen up. If the cable had disconnected, the key should turn easily with, no movement of the cable. I may be wrong but I just checked the price of a new cable, 09- Seat, ref#5 Cable-siege Cable seat fore a cost of $34.23 + tax and shipping, form Berts Mega Mall a sponsor here. Oh, and this is for my 08 RS.

Does the key fail to move even when the seat is open and it is tried? If so, the cable may be frozen, as you suspect. If it will move then, but not with the seat closed, it is a matter of adjustment and lube at the latch and seat latch post.

I installed my Corbin myself and have had no problems with the latch. I just need to figure out a way to keep it up when I do open it. I don't want to have to carry a short 2x4 around to hold the seat up.

No gas spring to hold it in the up position (or does the corbin seat not accept the gas spring)?
